  • 289 hipo fan

    the biggest problem I see with the repops is that they are all stell, while my originals have aluminum blades, I unfortunately paid 125 for my repop when they first came out, and havent used it because its so heavy, and not balanced Im afraid what it may do at high rpm.

  • 4H27K546187 Comet Cyclone

    I have one 64 and one 65 both unrestored originals. They both have extended dso numbers, the 65 is from new jersey and the 64 was built in california. The 65 has the bolt in brace and the 64 doesnt. I have all the docuumentation on the 65, it deleted the transistorized ignition, and was shipped with a scatter shield and fiberglass dash(like th fx cars) not installed. The 64 has no documentation, other than a piece of the original build sheet and you can see part of the instructions typed out long hand on the bottom as they did on the hipo comets. the 64 doesnt have the brace or the scattershield, but it does have the alternator(up high) transistorized ignition, 9 inch with snubber shroud, toploader, hipo 289 with vin code stamped like the mustangs, bigger springs, and larger diameter driveshaft. One of the most telling signs of the 64 that its the real deal, is the single point hipo transistorized distributer used only on the 64 hipo comets. It looks just like a regular early hipo dist with external oiler, but is has 64 comet numbers stamped in it and since the ignition was transistorized it only used one set of points.
